I forgot to add something in my previous message: To reduce electrical load, install a huge turbo to increase compression by a lot, pop off your spark plug wires and voilà, you can run on diesel j/k

Would I be able to use one of those electric superchargers like they have on eBay??
Oh wait... that would increase electric load.... damn.
What do you guys think about swapping all my lights for gas burning lanterns? Like on the old carriages? No electric draw there!

I'm thinking about just using my iPod and headphones whie driving. I once saw a guy doing that in an old beaten up car and thought "man that's ghetto" but now I'm kind of liking the idea

I really like the idea. It is SO much lighter than soundproofing the whole car. I use hardware-store hearing protectors with a useless anti-noise circuit, but the mp3 jack works just fine. And they are Really easy to keep away from thieves.

Using a resistor to dim incandescent bulbs does reduce power use overall, but not in proportion to the reduction in light. With the filaments down to bright orange, power usage might be down 50%. An ammeter patched into the relevant fuse slot would provide exact information on usage - you could pull any other bulbs on the switch to isolate the dash draw.

Have you called any Junk yards, I have never seen too many manual racks go bad, just tie-rods. Car-part.com results.

Looks to be one for $50 located 47 miles from you.

And on deep cycles, I got about 110 miles on mine. I watch voltage and do not let drop below 11.8v with load. Mine is a group 24 marine/deep cycle you could get a group 27 and extend that range, but would have to probably mount in trunk(large battery)

Or get an LED cigarette lighter light and aim at the dash. Still cost juice, but at LED magnitude.

Or some of these.

Now that would be cool. As long as you don't look at yourself in rear-view.

bbjsw10 - That is the first time I ever actually LOL for real! My fiance was on the phone, and I had to explain the whole thing to her, and she said she could definately see me wearing those

Oh, and thx. I didn't know about that site. I'm gonna check it out and see what I can find Muahahaha!

[bbjsw10]

That site is my best friend at times, saves talking to the monkeys that work there.

Glad you liked the glasses, I will see if we can get a group buy on them.

So what do ya guys think? Any input about the FAS in automatic cars?
